Backwoods Gallery is proud to announce its debut exhibition, King for a Day by internationally renowned Melbourne artist Meggs. This will be Meggs’ third Melbourne show, and follows acclaimed exhibitions in LA, London and Tokyo as well as exhibiting artworks in Miami and Singapore.
King for a Day is a brand new collection of paintings, screenprints and installations that examine society’s celebrity obsession through the prism of our own mortality and inner duality. An energetic depiction of those who crave power, wealth and fame in both life and death, King for a Day looks at how contemporary media and social networking has accelerated stardom and increased the pitfalls that come with celebrity attention.
Please join us for the opening reception of ‘King for a Day’ by Meggs on Friday 25th June 2010, from 6-9pm.
King for a Day will be Meggs’ final Melbourne show before his first UK solo exhibition with ZeroCool Gallery in early 2011.
